The start of the Summer Term

We are back into the routine for the last Term of the current school year.  A short term that always goes very quickly with all of the events which take place.

There were a few exam results came in and we offer our congratulations to Year 10 who between them managed to amass 9 x A*, 2 x A, 6 x B and 12 x C grades in the recent GCSE Science Modules. Particular mention must be made to three girls who scored full marks in their Chemistry module; a fantastic achievement.

As you will be aware we have very strong links with the Eden Project and there has been a visit arranged for people associated with the school next weekend.  Our own sustainability programme is progressing well, the micro pigs produced six micro piglets over the Easter break and the polytunnel is now completed and will soon be producing our own vegetables.

Several students have expressed an interest in forming an after-school Electronics Club which will involve lots and lots of practical tasks, wiring and soldering and creating simple electrical and electronic circuits such as alarms, light flashers and decorations, timers, reaction timers, illuminated badges, games and many others.  The science teacher is promising the students that it is not an extra science lesson in disguise!!
